are you sure it's a battery drain? ..tested voltage of battery when dead?
...If not battery check Alternator wiring closely for breaks in the smaller wires or loss of ground. This can cause no start
the ground goes under the alt. mount, which likes to get loose. I would preemptively add a second ground wire of similar size going to the chassis somewhere else nearby. That eliminates that problem or potential problem.
umm..have you tried a different battery from another car?
can't a starter drain down the batt if it stops on a bad spot in the winding?
Seems i've heard this before. maybe test starter. i def have been through a few or more of those on my SAABs
seems like an intermittent problem...keep observing battery voltage w/ voltmeter before start up, crank over and observe, i've had a battery recently that charged great, then would fall to 8 or 9 volts-only occasionally-when trying to start the car.
That took a while to find, basically when the car just refused to start anymore, we "caught it in the act" of the voltage dive. Seems like it froze and ruptured or something.
sorry, that's all i can think of right now
good luck
